Katou always held MyAffection, for some odd reason, even though I don't care for sappy characters.

As for Nishi, I respect the fact that he succeeds at any cost, as in Life vs. Death scenarios, that's all that really matters. Pride only plays an important part if it falls into your moral obligations. Basically: I wouldn't do some things that Nishi does, but I definitely wouldn't call "foul!" if I lost to him because of it.

Agreed.

Katou was an interesting character in particular because of the "sappiness" of him. It will be interesting to see if he can get over that in the next mission. At the end of the Buddha mission, it looked like he was getting over his pansy nature...

And remember, when Katou gets angry, he goes apeshit insane, much worse than Kurono in the start of the Buddha mission. Remember that gay boxer?

On Nishi, I agree.

Tidegpot: Yeah, Latin's fun to learn. I like it quite a bit more than French and it's easier than Japanese. I take too many languages...

I'm 99% sure that the reason Izumi died wasn't that he was too powerful, though. Dumbledore died because he's too powerful. Izumi wasn't that much better than everyone else, though. No, he died because Oku couldn't come up with a decent idea for the EPW, so he decided to kill Izumi instead.

You have seen the statistics chart, right? Izumi is perfectly rounded in endurance, strength, speed, luck, intelligence, and cool-headedness (or something like that). The only one who even came close to him was Kaze, who was stronger than him in a couple stats, but severely lacking in others. So yeah, Izumi was powerful, especially compared to Kei.

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.

Quite difficult. It's the hardest language I've ever studied. The lack of derivatives I can recognize makes it difficult to build a vocabulary, and you must have a large vocabulary to succeed with the language. I'm beginning to get good at it, but it's by far the hardest thing I've ever tried to learn.

I started with Japanese a year ago!...and i've to tell you the same that cooler told you!
It's difficult, but not impossible...
it's very diffcult to rember all the types of Kanshis!...since there are TOOO many! @.@..i only know 69 types!

...I would not like too se Izumi alive!...cause if Izumi is missing in the team, that means that all the gantzers or at least the majority will die, during the next (or final) mission!.
But...i dont know....what is going to do Oku?...maybe i'm wrong!
